Other people who aren’t on Twitter sponsored me also for which I’m very grateful.

No tweety, no linky though.

It’s very sad but no doubt everybody knows someone that’s been affected by cancer either directly or indirectly and Macmillan plays a brilliant role in helping not just cancer sufferers but their relatives too. Besides, hopefully I might be able to impress people by telling them I’m a triathlete.

So please dig deep and donate now.

To me it sounds like something an old age pensioner with a faded memory and a pair of rose tinted spectacles would say when reminiscing about “the good old days” of years gone by. It’s easy to look back at the past with a utopian ideology of how things used to be so much better, nicer and simpler. But in my opinion it’s false and wrong on a number of levels.

When has Britain ever been in complete unison? I’m no historian but the countries within the UK have fought among each other for many years. Then it was bloody battles, now rivalry is revelled in a game of football. Including our apparent skill for, ahem, moaning, it’s the way it has always been.

Reading Dom’s post it seems his main gripe is that people aren’t courteous to one another on the Tube. Granted, but this is common knowledge to anyone outside of London. “Ya ganin to London like?” “Aye.” “Well, aah heard nee one tarks t’ya on the Tube. Ever!”

It’s hardly a reflection of the state of the nation. That said, you only have to remember the atrocity of the 7/7 bombings to know that when it *really* matters people will come together.

There’s a Facebook application called Zoosk, which is essentially a dating site within Facebook. You add the application to your profile, upload some nice pics of yourself and before you know it you’re cyber-flirting and have the ability to email other users of the application. Easy eh? And free too. If you don’t mind using Facebook as a dating tool, that is.

Like all Facebook applications, before you add it you can see which of your friends are currently using it. And this is where it gets a bit iffy and doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand the point I’m trying to make.

Before you make any presumptions, however, bear in mind that people get invited to add applications from their friends all the time without paying any attention to them whatsoever. They never use them or look at them again. They just simply added it because they received a request from their friend.

But, still, if this is the case, Facebook should warn people about the application they’re about to install. I can’t imagine it being too pleasant seeing your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/whomever listed as a ‘friend’ using it.

Ouch!

For anyone who has me kindly linked to their blogroll I’d appreciate it if, for SEO purposes, you change it to the new URL. I’ll probably email a few people about it as well.

Onwards and upwards.
